We already know that Adam Driver is ridiculously cool. Not many people can lay claim to being an amazing actor AND a former Marine.

He of course played the latest bad guy on the scene in Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens.

But it all could have been so different. Adam has admitted that he nearly turned down the role of Sith in training Kylo Ren in the huge film.

The actor received a call from JJ Abrams while he was on set filming for Lena Dunham's hit TV series Girls. But while Star Wars director Abrams wanted to talk to him about a role in the new film, Adam said it look some time for him to fully come round to the idea.
